do I have to buy the new key to run the operating system on a virtual machine personal use? SOS. SOS...

Hello

I wanted to run vista on the same computer; but on a virtual machine. I wanted to know if I should buy a seprate key. I was perplexed because it is on the same computer at home. I wanted to use it for personal use as run the operating system on the virtual machine for programs to avoid viruses and use it kind of like a backup. I asked around only to meddle with the answers. Many people need to know the right answer to this question. Oh guys please keep this thread alive for others!

Thank you

Jamie

Hello

the rules of licensing are:

One license = Installation and which includes computer

the vista virtual machine installation will be a second installation requiring a second license of Vista

  • Change the operating system selected a virtual machine under tension in vCenter

    Is this possible? I looked in the box change the Settings - Options - but I can't see the usual fall down?

    You should turn off the machine.

    If you have made a mistake by setting for 32-bit or 64 - bit or vice versa, it does not really affect the virtual machine.

    If you have entirely changed the operating system, then you will need to power off and do it right that there is again a critical impact. the operating system you choose decides the type of SCSI controllers and things.

    I suggest you set a stop and do time.

  • What are the limits of size of virtual machine to use the mode of transport NBD in VADP?

    We have some problem to run backup VADP with EMC² Networker 7.6.2 with a virtual machine which, in total, amounts to about 2.3 TB of data.
    The configuration is the following:

    VM (file server) running on Windows 2008 R2

    The backup server (physical) is running Networker 7.6.2 and is also host to proxy for backups VADP.

    VMware vSphere, ESXi 4.1 Update 1

    When we make a snapshot of the file server ESX, no problem.
    When we try a support VADP through Networker, it fails with the following error:

    Creating a snapshot for ' vm-2153'...»
    Task is-1% complete
    Task is 95 percent complete
    Task is 95 percent complete

    The temporary "V:\backupvmware\PWVFILE05" for VADP directory deleted.

    Other (smaller) customer VADP backups are running thin.

    Someone told me that the business day following a certain limits on the size of the virtual machine.
    He said when he sized VM is equal to 1 TB or more, we should NOT use NBD.

    Anyone explain to me or provide me with evidence?

    Yes, I think it's the best option, visitors don't like the 'limits' much, then maybe look into the SAN transport mode

    Good luck!

  • VCB snap only the disk system to a virtual machine.

    I use as my ESX 3.5 VC 2.5 backup and Avamar.  I do backup with VCB 1.5.

    I have a virtual machine with a 20 GB OS drive and 500 GB data disk (linux).

    I would like to VCB the only BONES of some of my vm and not others drive much more major data on the disks on the virtual machine.

    Is there a way to only snap (a disk) the smallest disk to the virtual machine OS so I don't have to have a disk of temp VCB is huge?

    I can't wait to snap 520 GB just to get the 20 GB that I need.

    I realize that avamar can filter up to only enter the 20 but it's after the breakup, I don't want to break the 500.

    Thank you

    You can set the data to persistent disk independent. In this way, that it is not affected by snapshots.

    Take a look at http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/11/03/vcb-and-independent-disks/ (and its links). This is an old article, but it should still work.

    Welcome to communities,

    -How you configure the network settings of the virtual machine?

    -The VM does not map network?

    -You use DHCP or IP settings set in the virtual machine?

    I recommend the following to the test:

    -Configure the virtual computer to use DHCP (in the virtual machine itself)

    -Configure the virtual machine for the custom virtual network adapter settings: VMnet1 (host only)

    After the virtual machine restarts, it should have a DHCP IP address and be able to communicate (ping) to 192.168.56.1

  • Try copying the VMDK operating system of a virtual machine

    I m trying to copy the OS vmdk to a VM with 2 also with the cmd - left hard drive copy.

    When Itry to the following syntax:

    copy-hard drive - HDD "[RZ1_FG34_Infrastruktur_B] uxms0005/uxms0005.vmdk"-DestinationPath "Klon/uxms0005klon.vmdk [RZ1_FG34_Infrastruktur_B] '.

    I get an error:

    CategoryInfo: InvalidArgument: (:)) [copy-hard drive], ParameterBindingException)

    Thank you.

    Hi, Lutz, Yes, you must use the get-hard way it returns only one of the discs you want: Get - hard - drive vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets reference

    Like this for example:

    Get - VM uxms0005 |  Get-Harddisk? | { $_. Filename-match "uxms0005.vmdk"}

    It must return a drive and you can run in your hard drive copy.

  • Can I get an installation Win XP Pro Update CD includes SP3? The one I have now is pre - SP2 and reinstalling the operating system takes 4-EVER!

    My existing Windows XP Pro installation CD is almost a decade, and it precedes SP2. It's a nightmare, whenever I have to reinstall the operating system as ut takes a day or two to download Microsoft updates. Is it possible to replace my installation CD with a newer version, including a number of post-SP3 updates and SP3?

    You do this using a technique called "slipstreaming".  You start with a genuine XP installation CD and add in the necessary service packs and updates.

    If your CD-ROM is sp1 or 1A, you can just slipstream sp3.  If you have XP 'or' (pre - sp1), it is more complicated.

    There are many websites that explain how to do this.  Google for "slipstream sp3 of xp" or something similar.

    This site claims to have a script that will create a slipstreamed XP sp3 and all post-sp3 CD critical updates (description wrongly "sp2").  I the have not used and do not have any information on how easy it is or if she actually does what it says.

  • Fees and new drive hard install XP operating system?

    Hi all
    I have a Sony Vaio, which was purchased at Costco in 2004 and has Windows XP Media Center Edition installed according to the sticker on the back of the computer.
    The hard drive was out at the time of the computer and installed in an enclosure so that the data could be accessed the laptop for my wife a few months ago.
    Well, I wanted to install a new hard drive in the computer with a new installation of the operating system so that our children can use the computer, but I've never done this before.  So here's my question:
    If I go on eBay and buy a Windows XP Professional OEM with COA key I can install it on this computer, or must be Windows XP Media Center Edition?  When I went to Google I read how if you have Windows XP Media Center Edition (or any other edition of windows by the way) on a computer that is the only operating system that can be installed on this computer.  But I have more than one other computer that I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium, Ultimate without problem through an Anytime Upgrade Microsoft.
    I guess that the main reason that I'm asking because we lost the Microsoft Disc supplied with the computer, so I'll have to buy a drive one way or another and I just wanted to know what my options are.
    Thank you very much for any help any of you are able to make.

    You can install a commercial version on your Sony.

    I would not buy it from eBay you have no guarantee that the key is not in use.

    You should buy from a retailer or an online store.

    As your sony will not run Vista or Windows 7, you have no choice but to install XP.

    A better and cheaper choice would be XP Home Edition for children.

    Don't forget, support XP stop April 8, 2014 so that gives you 1 year and 9 months.

    After that, is no longer security update will be available for XP.

    http://www.Ubuntu.com/

    The link above is a free operating system, so no $$$ to pay, you can download it or get it on CD

    I got on the CD 5 years, they have sent to me and even paid shipping.

    I don't know what options are available right now, so you'll have to visit their site.

    Also in contrast to support XP for Ubuntu does not end.

    Apple says the following:

    General requirements

    • OS X 10.6.8 or later version
    • 2 GB memory
    • 8.8 GB of available storage

    For best performance, I would say not less 4 GB and preferably 8 GB or more.

    Your i5 is well able to support properly.

    Hello

    How to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    MY computer has caught the virus from defender 2010 Windows and if my hard drive has been erased. Do I have to buy a new product key or y at - it a way to get my old one back? Thank you




    If you do not have your product key, you have serious problems.

    It is on a sticker on the case of the computer, or packaging and corresponds to 25 numbers arranged in 5 groups of 5 digits.

    As you reinstalled Vista, and it is not enabled, we can not help you recover from your operating system running and active.

    Contact the manufacturer of the computer.

    See you soon.
